Exactly. If someone came on here posting substandard newly built roads from Oshogbo or Ilorin, I'd be the first to criticise it. But they don't. We see new road constructions from Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja etc, and they usually have sidewalks and covered drains.

Yeah, my point is simple, it's a general problem which isnt restricted to SE roads; irrespective of the fact that you see more threads opened daily showcasing more SE roads thhan elsewhere. But I'm sure you've been shown some examples by others which should be enough for you to understand and accept my generalisation.

Rossikk:
Sorry, but every time I see someone post a thread on new roads built by SE governors, it's almost always with open drains and no sidewalks. Onitsha, Aba, Umuahia, Awka etc. They need to understand that roads with open drains and no sidewalks are primitive. The British introduced that nasty way of building roads here. They don't build roads like that in their own country. Even in their villages, they build every road with covered drains and sidewalks.

I'm not sure I understand how anyone should even remotely think of blaming the Brits who left us close to 60 years ago for this.

And yeah, I still stand by my earlier point, the issue of building wack roads with open drains, no walkways and no street markings is a nationwide matter which isnt restricted to the SE in any way. Apparently the only reason it may seem rampant to you in the SE is cos we encounter much more threads online showcasing one road or the other built by governors in the SE.

Don't play the man, play the ball. Is he wrong? Has Buhari not stifled his ministers? Did we not see more active government in 50 days under Osinbajo than we saw in the preceding 18 months under Buhari? Has government not returned to a standstill since Buhari came back?

It's simply a fact that Buhari's combination of stubbornness, inaction and ignorance has crippled even the best of his ministers. That is why even a talented and energetic person like Fashola has been reduced to the butt of jokes about him being a "minister of darkness": what can you do when your boss refuses to heed your good advice?

If you like, call me "IPOB" as well; you'll only make yourself look ridiculous, as I'm as far from being "IPOB" as it is possible to get. The difference between you and I is that I know bad government when I see it.

I agree with you about Buhari being rather rigid, but I'm not sure I understand how exactly Buhari has/is preventing Fashola from working as you confidently claim.... And then again, how exactly did Fashola get more freedom under Osinbajo?

igbozionism:
but if this money truely belongs to NIA I don't think this probe is necessary. for the interest of the nations security this agency should remain as secret as they can and font deserve this public and media spotlight. this magu is over zealous and shouldn't be tampering with delicate matters of this magnitude. these probes can expose the field agents and ghosts of the agency who should have remained covet for their protection and that of their families. magu should be removed for this national disaster.

Magu was simply doing his job by sniffing out moneys illegally stashed in various places; the NIA should have done a better job in concealing the cash. You cant blame the EfCC for efficiently doing its job.

ROAD BUILDING LESSONS FOR SOUTH EAST DUMMY GOVERNORS


https://nacto.org/wp-content/themes/sink_nacto/views/design-guides/retrofit/urban-street-design-guide/images/sidewalks/carousel//retail-sidewalk.jpg

Mr Man, stop drowning yourself in needless delusion, your advice whilst viable, should actually apply to all Nigerian governors; this isn't a south eastern issue. Majority of local and major roads in Nigeria lack covererdd drainage, walkways and even the most basic of all which is road markings.

Sending GEJ home was a task that had to be done; thank God once again for the 2015 elections. My only worry however is the slowness and unproactiveness of the present admin which is making it look no much different from past administrations.

aboyaji:
Let's check a scenerio where you worship in a particular church, but attend a ministry else where and decide to pay your Tithe. How wise would it be to split your tithe among those places of worship?

I have a local church in my community which I previously attended, and which I know is in dire need of funds... Now I live in Abuja/Lagos/overseas and attend a mega church which is well to do. Out of simple wisdom, I would certainty be splitting my contributions 80:20 in favour of my old church. Anyone that says this is wrong lacks wisdom.

PsychedeliQ:
The Christian Easter festivities have hurriedly come and gone, but one name has remarkably stayed stuck on the lips of a large portion of Christians. As often the case every year, this mysterious name continues to grow even more popular than the celebrated occasion.


Judas Iscariot: A name notoriously synonymous with greed, betrayal and treason. A name heavily loathed by children, despised by adults and provides every preacher with a great point of reference to knock a sermon into shape, and get a sober audience nodding along. A name famous for the romantic public display of affection, which led to the vulnerable timely death of the guiltless Son of God.


A lot of Christians, continue to blackmail Judas Iscariot as the enemy, denying him of his rightful heroic street credibility!


The death and resurrection of Jesus as understood from the Bible, was already predestined to happen with a disciple of Jesus, setting the process into motion. Someone among the twelve disciples, had to do the dirty work! It was unfortunate, but quite heroic for Judas to be singled out by his heavenly recruiters to fit the job description.


The mountainous role played by Judas Iscariot in delivering his master into the hands of his captors (as widely condemned), laid the foundation in giving the Gospel a worldwide facelift, through the death and resurrection of Christ. If Judas hadn't done it, someone else would have stepped in on the job, and will just like Judas, suffer a posthumous tarnished reputation!

How else was Jesus meant to be captured? Any of you blackmailers got an idea?


Why doesn't the name 'Judas' align with contemporary birth names for male children?


Judas Iscariot, had his personal flaws like every other Christian did and currently do.


Paul (while as Saul) slaughtered an outrageous number of Christians. David, likewise his promiscuous son Solomon, was a man LovePeddler! Thomas, was recorded as a doubter and a man of great deficiency in faith. Peter, consciously denied Jesus three consecutive times (as was part of his destiny), and many others.


Christians forgave these men of despicable character and continued over the years to christen their kids after them, but just wouldn't do the same for a remorseful Judas Iscariot, who went as far as taking his own life in remorse for a crime he was already predestined to commit!


Aren't we as Christians, in a way possibly unknown to us, bias and plainly sentimental?


Judas Iscariot, deserves a lot more respect from the Christian community. As a matter of fact, in solidarity to this great heroic biblical figure, one of my boys will bear 'Judas' as a middle name when he arrives in the nearest future!

Hahaha... I love this, someone making a case for bros Judas

This story looks completely made up.... I dont believe anyone confessed to anything..

Guyman02:
Every region have its comparative advantage and we failed as a nation for turning a blind eye and pretending to be ignorant so as not to be termed tribalists. For example kids in the South West are very good with computer systems and software and Nigeria can become an international IT hub like India but lets not say it out so as not to promote the Yorubas because I am Igbo

Yeah u are right, every tribe has its comparative advantage. But then, considering the endemic tribal issues on this forum and in the country generally, the way the case is presented matters a lot in order not to attract some needless bad blood/envy.

Guyman02:
The CBN spokesman mr Okoroafor called IMF request 'laughable', the Nigerian economy is better managed in the hands of Igbos (no tribal sentiment implied) because they will never ever trust the white man as sincere in his policies towards Africa and the British knew this which made them to ensure that power is skewed to the region that is more malleable.
Igbos believe in home grown solutions to economic problems and not from any foreign group which tries to pretend to be more clever than Nigerians.

Is this particular self adulation/encomium/patronisation really necessary?.... This is the exact sort of supremacist statements that fuels tribal envy/hate and the needless tribal fights.

teezy001:
I don't like any political party neither any politician, because they are all have the same blood. The moment we discover this, the moment we give ourselves peace. My question is how can the funds released in 2015 still have 2017 bank rolls stamp?

baralatie:
good observation

@teezy001
Where exactly did you get the info from that the money had 2017 stamps?.... several people have mentioned this same thing on this site (some even claimed it was 2016 stamps), but not a single person has been able to explain the source of this claim. Abeg where did you get this info from?

NgeneUkwenu:
Please how did you get to know, the money were minted in 2016 and 17? How do you guys feel defending thieves?

Tufiakwa!!

A lot of people have been peddling this story of the money being wrapped in 2016 wraps. But strangely, not a single one of these folks have been able to substantiate it. Even if it means just preventing a poorly photoshopped picture, not a single one of these guys repeating the '2016 wrap' defense has been able to explain the source of that info.

thinkmoney:
He would have told all those of you castigating him, that "if you haven't sinned ( if you have not murdered someone, in this case aborted a baby) keep throwing the stones."

And who is this 'sheep' advocating for the murderous pastor Occultist who hasn't even shown a single bit of remorse for his devilish act?

FUCKyouALL:
I love it real hard when I make little kids cry; l love it like I've got an orgasm. You wanna be an Igbo-Afonja?, that's not gonna happen. I would just talk-smutter you to the gutter ; Pulverize you to pieces. Whenever you see a group of Biafrans on a trail of protest, call them muppets and meet your creator within 6secs. Quote me, I am ready for you.

Oh dear!... He rejoices and feels fulfilled cos he's thrown several insults per second.... Now it's obvious I've been exchanging banters with a child.

You win! Nice day ahead. Bye!

martinz1:
There are better places like that in nigeria, when seen on pics wont look like naija
Like the guy said, that is a car dealer stand in owerri, that means he know the place very well,
Car parks in uk have marks
I dont see anything special about the environment there

The bolded is quite amusing, so because it's the almighty UK, so therefore all parking lots must be marked?.. Okay.

martinz1:
U never can tell, maybe the guy is right
The two vehicles With uk number could b non registered tokunbo cars

Cmon! take a look at the environment.

That could be a picture of 2 tokumbo UK used cars somewhere in Nigeria, or it could be a picture of an SUV fitted with Nigerian plates in the UK. Now take a close look and consider the environment, would you place your bet that that is Nigeria?

FUCKyouALL:
are you done squirming? If not then continue. What is far sure is, you are not a real Igbo boy, you don't know squat about Igbo. Keep wailing and crying little baby and if you get offended enough, go and suck a dick

FUCKyouALL:
and lastly, you are a low life. Even wikipedia sees IBO as a name erroneously used by non igbo speakers, but you as a foolish fake Igbo boy is here to rant nonsense. You are a big fool who has a long way to go. A stupid political refugee like you residing in the east and that makes you an Igbo man? FU:CK you and FU:CK your Ideology

Like I said earlier, only insecure beings suffering from severe self-esteem issues would take offence and pick a fight over the mere spelling of their name (especially when there are numerous other weightier issues that such energies should be expended on).

Just like a frenchman feeling offended for being referred to as 'French' instead of 'Francais', that's exactly how puerile and silly it is for anyone to lose sleep over IGBO being spelt as IBO, especially when there are better things to expend their mental energy on.

And oh yeah! congratulations on being 'more Igbo', or should I say, 'being a real-er Igbo man' than Charles Oputa because you think you spell I-G-B-O more correctly. Your wisdom is truly peculiar.

obiezed:
I
I na tupuru ezi onu??.

Anyi n'ile ma si n'obu nna muru gi bu ezi ahu...

FUCKyouALL:
shut the hell up.. It is IGBO not IBO. I-GB-O that's the letter words. Got that? Whenever you see IBO it is erroneously spelt. We have fake Igbos so shut up and face your lousy tribe

Shut the hell up too and go deal with your lousy inferiority complex mentality... I'm an Igbo man and even if the spelling is I-G-B-O, I dont see any big deal or feel offended if it's spelt I-B-O by anyone. I am way way bigger and smarter than taking offence in such frivolous nonsense. So shove your nonsense low self esteem issues up your ass...

And regarding the silly ideology that there's something called fake Igbo and real Igbo, that's pure evidence of your pathetic self esteem problems.

Opakan2:
Nairaland sef..

How are you so sure it's a foreign country. Might just be one beautiful estate owned and maintained by the rich or maybe white people. Could be Lagos or Abuja

And white people in Nigeria would bring in a Nissan Juke with UK plates right?.... Why are there 2 cars in the picture bearing UK plates?.. And why does the environment look so much not like NIgeria?

Davash222:
That's owerri. Take it or leave it!!!

Na wa for you oo.. Is that you father's compound in Owerri?... Where exactly in Owerri looks like this with 2 vehicles parked with UK number plates?

Lol... the hatred for Amaechi will keep making some desperate beings reason like infants.

Na wa for weird interpretations. How can a story of a man sleeping with a woman be titled homosexuality?

FUCKyouALL:
This guy is absolutely insane. Nnamdi Kalu side-stepped him in that pics and he is so annoyed with that. Secondly, Charlie Boy is not a real Igbo man.. Which Igbo person spells Igbo as IBO?

Cut this crappy insecure mentality for once... What do you mean by real Igbo and fake Igbo?... Anyone who aligns with your position is real and others are fake?... Right from time, the word 'Igbo' has alternatively been spelt as 'Ibo' in several literature. Only insecure people struggling with self-esteem issues suddenly see this as a grievous or demeaning offence.

Area fada is a yoruba afonja muslim...

NOETHNICITY:
There's none.
If there is(are) it wud already ve been in the entire cyber space.
I challenge them to produce a simple verifiable shot to prove their, already lame, story.
Mr wailing drss2 u need to understd that only fellow braindead wailing bigots will buy this story.

I just had to give the peddlers of this story the benefits of a doubt... As expected, the peddlers of this story are also the same set of people who swallowed and are peddling the story that the apartment and the cash belongs to Amaechi (simply cos FFK said so).

Babamide:
The car is in box 2.
If the car is in box 1, statement 1 and 2 are true.
If the car is in box 2, only statement 3 is true.
If the car is in box 3, statement 2 and 3 are true.
Only 1 statement is true.

You are right, the car is in Box 2.

VellyG:
this is the ,most deceitful govt i have seen in my life time. currency notes with 2016 date is been claimed to be looted in GEJ tenure. Read alot of comments here i can attest that Nigerians are really gullible set of people. This money was looted in this tenure no need diverting our attention. nigerians arent fools

Please can you provide the source of this claim?... I mean your claim that the notes have 2016 written on them?... I've read this from several online comments like yours but no one seems to be able to confirm the source of this info.

Zhirinovsky:
What about Tonimas, ibeto, Innoson etc? Didn't they invest in the SE?

We need many more of such people, more people need to start thinking that way. The ‘Aku Ruo Ulo’ campaign needs to be tattooed into the brains of Igbo businessmen. Where are people like Oga Ifeanyi (Capital) who keeps 'advising' govt that the solution to the current forex crisis is in modular refineries, is Oga Ifeanyi trying to tell us he can't quickly scramble a modular refinery himself somewhere in the SE?... Or does he have to wait till 2019/2020 when Dangote will run Capital O&G out of business (and then we resume the blame 'them' blame 'them' cries again)?

989900:
2 are already on course: one in Ogun state, and another 200,000 barrels in the east . . . I think Akwa Ibom. Then a 20,000 barrels modular refinery by one Missouri company between Delta and Bayelsa.

Plus there is a little likelihood Mobil/Shell takes over or partners NNPC refineries.

Trust Nigerians and their "copy copy" syndrome, in 5-10 years from now we will hardly be exporting any more crude, only refined ones -- probably even importing crude to meet up our refineries needs.

5-10 years is a very long time I can assure you. With the ingrained culture of copy copy in Nigeria, everybody just waits for the first person to bell the cat before everyone else jumps on the boat. I can assure you that with the latest Dangote development, by 2020, Nigeria wouldn't export a drop of raw crude anymore; there would be an explosion of refineries by then, starting from even the existing NNPC refineries.

Zhirinovsky:
Wait o! They oil will be pumped out in the Niger Delta and transported through pipes to lagos for refining? Why not site the refinery in the Niger Delta. Someone would mention millitancy! But does millitancy exist in Akwaibom too? Someone would mention access to the sea! Is there no ocean shore in akwaibom? Can't the port be developed? Can someone confidently name one Northerner or Southwesterner that has invested in the SE/SS except owning their oilwell?? But the SE/SS invest and own factories in the SW and North.
Whaat kind of a Scam called country is this??

The way we cry victim victim victim sometimes can be very ridiculous and I just cant figure out how even adults cant see the ridiculousness of this banter.

From you last sentence above, you say the SE & SS invests in the SW and North, but the SW & North never do so in the SE & SS. The big question is, 'what stops the SS & SE from investing in the SS & SE?'.... Is it in every single situation that we get to blame, blame and blame others?... This wailing and blame game that's been going on for decades, how exactly has it helped the SE or SS?

There's the ongoing ‘Aku Ruo Ulo’ campaign in the SE for businessmen and industrialists to 'think home'... When a person like Capt. Iheanacho who contested recently for the Imo state governorship decides to site his planned modular refinery in Badagry instead of some suitable location in the SE or SS, then i think the only wise thing to do is to engage in deep soul searching instead of these 'blame blame blame others' which seems to now be the ingrained culture in the SE (especially in recent times).
